a.k.a. “Reason #1,204,556 why I love my family.”

I fixed my A/C drain!

All it took was a frantic call to Mom to vent, then a call to my sister Laura to find out WTF was going on.

I nearly called my other sister Marion – but I figured if push came to shove with the fucking thing, Laura would be more able to run up to fix it since Marion’s son graduates high school this weekend.

(Both of my sisters work as repair-people in the HVAC field – they know how to fix things!)

But, Laura talked me though it and told me what needed to be replaced and where to run the hose for drainage (to the pipe that the washer drains into – genius!). I do need to shorten the hose a bit, but for now, the A/C is back on!

I have half the cupboard doors on and I’m nearly done with the painting of the walls – just a few touchups to do! Later, after a well-deserved shower, I’m going to take down the CD/DVD towers and unload the 9-cube (since I’ll be painting that later) and get everything set up for painting tomorrow!

Things are going much better now than earlier. Other than the battery pack on my cordless drill dying on me halfway through the cabinet re-hanging (have to drill new holes in the backs of the cabinets for the new hardware I bought). I should look into getting a second charge pack.

Anyway, if I’m not exhausted by then, I may still go see the midnight showing of X-Men 3. Maybe.
